United States Holocaust Memorial Museum

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is the United States' official memorial to the Holocaust. Adjacent to the National Mall in Washington DC, it was established on 22 April 1993, and it had nearly 40 million visitors as of 2012; less than 10% of the museum's visitors were Jewish, with the visitors coming from all over the world. On 10 June 2009, an 88-year-old white supremacist, James von Brunn, killed a security guard in a shooting at the museum before being wounded by two others and then arrested.
